Hunting at a 1840 farm in NC--What is this?

[homebre]

I was hunting at an 1840 era farm and found an army button with Zell Products Corp. NYC on the back and would like to know the year or war. Also, found a the large piece of brass (handle-shaped) that I would like help identifying.Also shown are a brass hose nozzle and handle of a metal screw driver and a 1917 Wheat Penny (not shown) in poor condition. Thanks for any help,
Andy from Hillsborough

I cannot get the images to post. I will try again later.

I posted on another forum and found tht the "screw driver" was a model T tire valve cover. Still like to hear opinions on the other two objects besides the nozzle.

The 2nd picture..."large piece of brass (handle-shaped)"...is a trigger guard from a gun, probably flintlock or caplock.
Here are a couple from a CW-era caplock and a Pre-CW Flintlock that are similar....

The button is a post 1902 Army collar disk or button depending on the back.
